I am a HUGE fan of Chuck and Coco over at dooce.com, so I thought I’d try something with Lucy for Chinese New Year similar to Chuck’s holiday photo. Nothing this drastic, mind you, but the excessiveness of Chuck’s “trimmings” shows the extent of his tolerance. It’s amazing. In comparison, Lucy doesn’t get the “dress up” thing and wonders “Why are you setting ‘chewables’ on my body?” I took many photos just to get a clear shot of Lucy with the Chinese trinket made by my mother-in-law (the intricacies of these ornaments that she makes from thread, ribbon and beads are amazing). After countless times of draping it over Lucy’s head and ears and then crying “Leave it!” or “Stay!” she all but ate the prop and then grew tired, probably wondering why every year isn’t the Year of the Dog…she still sends Chinese New Year wishes your way, though!
Oh, W is in New York celebrating the holiday with his family, so I may possibly be enjoying these tomorrow when he returns. Yay! I cheer his return, of course, and not the arrival of sponge cakes… ;o)
Gotta say, I’m with Lucy on this…suspecting that she knows Chinese New Year trimmings are only one small step away from reindeer antlers at Christmas or bunny ears at Easter….

Hi again, drjay,
Heh, heh, that’s funny. You know, we have a pair of those reindeer antlers that we bought when Emma was with us. She wouldn’t stand for them and neither will Lucy. So is it a smart dog or a numb-numb that lets you do those awful things? I’ll have to look into that…
BTW, is it snowing there yet? :o)

Thanks for stopping by, Crystal, and Lucy thanks you for the compliment! :o)
Endearing and utterly gorgeous photo of Lucy! You have quite the knack with that camera, Holly.
I am a “dog person” and I yearn to reach through the computer and pet her!

Why thank you, GeL. How kind of you. She really makes me work when it comes to photographing her, but she also usually gives me one good “look.” :o)

Happy New Year from Australia
